Across 63 matches, Bigi's tackle count stands as the defining feature of his game — averaging close to five per match and peaking at 23 in a single outing, he brings consistent defensive industry to the hooker position. His carrying numbers are modest on a per-game basis, though the fact that he has crossed the line six times and occasionally hits nine carries in a match suggests he picks his moments purposefully rather than dominating ball-in-hand. Over 2 000 minutes of action, the picture is of a hooker who earns his place through hard defensive work and reliable presence rather than explosive attacking output.
